DIN ISO 4506 is the German adoption of ISO 4506, the compression test method for hardmetals (cemented carbides). The technical content matches the ISO version; the DIN ISO designation is what German quality systems cite. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What DIN ISO 4506 Covers
It determines the compressive strength of hardmetals such as tungsten-carbide grades, strong in compression but brittle, requiring careful specimen preparation and alignment.
How the Test Is Run
A precisely ground specimen with flat, parallel ends is loaded in compression to failure under close alignment, and the compressive strength is calculated from the maximum load and cross-section.
